Americans are weirded out when they realize Bollywood actors don’t sing but lip-synch to singers (who are often bigger bigger celebrities than the actors). I felt the same way when I first learned American talk show hosts don’t write their own monologue jokes. Vaguely cheated.

Cheated?? Most singers cannot Act, Most writers cannot make you laugh, Most Consultants are smart and good at giving Advice but will never become Successful in building a business themselves. It's all about temperament

I don't think it's fair to compare Broadway musical with Bollywood Movies! I believe not a single leading Actor even in Hollywood sings??

Err there are musical movies too though. And generally the leads sing even if they can’t. Like Russell Crowe doing a bad Javert in Les Miserables.
Afaik, most people in showbiz are significantly-better-than-average singers. They’re just not as good as best-of-the-best singers. Same I guess is true of tv show hosts and joke-writing
